MSU game
Stayed with two of our adult children to watch the UM-MSU game. This is the second time we have rented this house in Dexter. We used to own a condo in downtown Ann Arbor, so we were initially concerned about how much different it is in Dexter and downtown Ann Arbor. But we love Dexter. We went to the coffee shop twice, the bakery, and the pub (twice as well). We obviously came back, so it was enjoyable.

Visiting our son at UM
What a fabulous location. Short easy drive to Ann Arbor. Walking distance to Dexter Downtown where there are pubs and restaurants and stores. Short drive to anything you need. The house was so charming and homey. Lisa and Doug really make you feel at home with all the little things in the house. The back yard was so nice to sit by the river and lite a fire. We will definitely come back.

Charming, well equipped cottage
Love the peaceful location on the river. We loved jumping in the cool water. It's also a super close walk to town. The kitchen and supplies were SO well stocked. We had absolutely everything we needed, and more. Tons of space indoors and out for our group to hang out in.

Graduation
We found the perfect hideaway for our son’s graduation from University of Michigan. Dexter is a lovely town, and although very convenient to Ann Arbor, is far from the madness and crowds of graduation weekend! We especially loved relaxing on the terrace by the river after a busy day at the Big House!

The Game
I came up with two of my adult children. All three of us are UM alumni. We chose Dexter instead of local Ann Arbor hotels. We had stopped at the Dexter cider mill a year earlier before a game and really liked Dexter. Unfortunately, the cider mill was closed in late November, but we enjoyed the pub, coffee shop, and bakery. Great weekend.

Great Getaway!
Beautiful house on the Huron River. Hosts went above above and beyond to provide all that we needed for a relaxing stay, even a bottle of wine! The house is just down the street from the Dexter Cider Mill and a easy drive to Ann Arbor. I highly recommend staying here.

Lazy River
We so enjoyed our stay here; the hosts were easy to work with and quick to respond. The house and bedrooms roomy. We were so lucky - while sitting on the river deck we got to see deer crossing The Huron; a fly fisherman caught a fish right off where we sat and the site is so peaceful. We'll be back.

Gem of a Home
We stayed at Lisa and Doug’s home for a Michigan football weekend. Located in a charming little town, this home was perfect for our needs. It is close enough to Ann Arbor to get to town as frequently as you want, but provides a peaceful retreat from the college town. Communication with the owners was beyond outstanding and they have stocked the house to take care of any needs that may come up. We could not recommend this home more strongly. If you are on the fence, check out the pictures by the Huron River. This area is very private and all yours to enjoy. The icing on the cake, however, is the five minute walk to the cider mill. Amazing treats and cider to top off the perfect stay.

Perfect getaway for family
We were looking for a place to hang out and relax with our teenagers. They loved it. From the water way in the back, to the yard games, to the wood prepared for the fire pit, everything was better than expected. Ice trays full, plenty of towels, book with local dining and activities, we did not even turn the tv on. Definitely would return.
